Epilogue
23 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Carl Archer is a recovering alcoholic who has been told that he had a hallucination by Doctor Sanders.

His estranged wife Helen took their son Steve to an old abandoned silver mine. It collapsed and trapped Steve.

Helen drives out to Carl and ask for his help. He rushes to the mine and manages to find his son. Two other men also arrive to help.

However Carl is shocked that the collapsed mine killed his wife.

How did she manage to summon Carl? Also what was that noise in the desert that the two men heard?

Was it a gush of wind or a woman's frantic screams.

It starts of as a mundane story of an alcoholic who realises he has made mistakes and wants his family back.

It was probably silly to visit an old mine but the twist works well.

Charles Aidman who plays Carl Archer definitely exercises his lungs as he shrieks throughout the story. At the ends he decides he does not need the doctor's medication.
